Shape Norfolk’s Future

The City of Norfolk is excited to invite you to help us shape our city’s future at a series of three upcoming community visioning meetings.

Via Norfolk’s Planning Department:

Join us May 19th at 6:00 p.m. at the Attucks Theater (1010 Church Street) for the first of these important meetings, where you will help us decide how we will use our land and protect our assets into the distant future. For those who participated in the Asset Mapping exercises earlier this year, this will be your opportunity to see the results of that work and tell us about your vision for our city.

As a bonus, beginning at 5:30 p.m., there will be food trucks parked outside the Attucks and the first 50 people in attendance will receive a $5.00 voucher towards their food purchase. So join us for dinner and stay for the meeting.

Norfolk, Virginia was named a 2013 All-America City by the National Civic League. It is a city of some 245,803 residents and more than 100 diverse neighborhoods. It is the cultural, educational, business and medical center of Hampton Roads, hosts the world's largest naval base, the region's international airport and is one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast of the United States.

Founded in 1682, Norfolk grew up on the water, and its miles of lake, river and bay front are central to many of its neighborhoods. The city's popular logo -- an elegant young mermaid, which can be spotted in outdoor sites from Downtown to Ocean View -- symbolizes 300 years of maritime and naval heritage and its modern reputation as a city on the move.
